Overview
Lismore Bunkhouse and Campsite is the only designated campsite for campervans on the Isle of Lismore. The community website states that the campsite has five camping pitches and two campervan hook-up spaces. Lismore's roads are all single track, with few suitable turning places for larger campervans, and the island has very limited campervan infrastructure. Visitors should arrive prepared with sufficient water, fuel and waste capacity for their stay.

Responsible stay notes
Bring enough drinking water, fuel and toilet capacity for the visit, take rubbish back to the mainland, avoid driving or parking on pasture and use passing places correctly on the island's single-track roads.
Local rules
Booking ahead is strongly advised and the community discourages bringing campervans to the island without a campsite booking. Do not drive on pasture. There is no chemical-toilet disposal, no public drinking-water tap and no fuel station; take non-recyclable rubbish back to the mainland.
Nearby food & shops
Lismore has a community shop, heritage centre and café. Public toilets are available at the ferry terminals, but they use septic tanks and must not be used for chemical-toilet disposal.
